Key facts:It is December 24 and I start what should be, unless very exceptional cases, the last post of this year: 2013 a very special, with lots of surprises, a year of celebrations, 25th anniversaries of memorable events that has taken us back to 1988, but also a year to get ready for the future, for the extraordinary new year that is about to start. All these topics have enriched the pages of this blog in 2013, with almost 180 posts among Homepage and the various sections, then shared on Facebook and Twitter.I am very happy to have shared all this, and above all these emotions with all of you, and I take this opportunity once again to thank you for reading, for your interest and comments, for nice private messages and emails, for all your nice words which I am very grateful for. As I said, this is officially the last post of this year, as the blog will have a week holiday from 27 December to 3 January included but do not worry! Despite being unable to share contents on social networks, should you enter the blog in the next few days you will find some surprises, especially in the section of the Historic Dates, being this rich period of anniversaries and special memories.Actually it should not be surprising that some people could be working even on Christmas time: in the past, Josep Carreras took advantage of these days in Barcelona with his family, for example, to perform at the Gran Teatre del Liceu. This year as well, Josep Carreras will spend the first part of the Holidays in China, firstly in Beijing and then in Guanzhou, where he will perform on 28 December.I recommend you to keep an eye on the Historic Dates section: the contents will then be progressively shared on social networks in the first days new year.Please, remember that until 31 December, you can help Josep Carreras save lives by making a donation to the José Carreras Gala, in support of the German branch of the Foundation, the Deustche José Carreras Leukämie Stiftung . The numbers are the followings: from Germany 01802 400 100, from abroad 0049 1802 400 100.I just have to ask all of you my best wishes for peace for the holidays and the New Year 2014. To keep alive the spirit of Christmas I recommend you to keep listening the beautiful music in the Advent Calendar 2013 from the 1st to 24th of December.
